Return to Zork: Revisiting an Old Friend

byhamburgerman Nov 7, 2000
91 Helpfuls 92 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros entertaining, lots of fun
Cons very few
Recommended it? Yes

I grew up with the Apple II computer in junior high. The original text adventure ZORK series was an all-time favorite of mine. I never played any ZORK games after ZORK III, like ZORK ZERO and BEYOND ZORK, though. After being away from the computer gaming world for a while, I got a new PC and then I... Read full review »

From Text to Graphic Puzzles

Pros Great movies, get to see the world of Zork for the first time
Cons Some of the puzzles and mazes are a pain in the butt
Recommended it? Yes

Way back when PCs were almost as rare as hen's teeth and an Apple was seen just as often as IBM PCs, a small program that was 100% text based took the country by storm. Years later, when video games were getting better, the Zork series of games were still just as popular as ever.

It's hard... Read full review »

Pros graphics, sound, music, story line
Cons none to mention
Recommended it? Yes

Return To Zork is one of the games in the Zork series and this one just might be one of the best yet.

Zork has been around for a long time and they have made a great and fun game this time. With the exception of the new Zork: Grand Inquistor I think this one might be the best...

The Future Is Grim, Indeed...

6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Top notch production values, graphics, sound, and acting are just a few highlights.
Cons For some reason, this game was a sleeper hit by Zork standards.
Recommended it? Yes

Spanning more than a dozen games and three decades, Zork was one of the first and one of the best. However, RTZ marked a major first in that it wasn't interactive fiction. But while I could simply sit and rant about the game, it might be more prudent to tell a little bit about the HISTORY of the... Read full review »

Want Some Rye?

Pros Lots of gameplay for 1 CD
Cons Too difficult without hints
Recommended it? No

Course ya do! And you'll need a few stiff drinks to get through this game.
Welcome to Return to Zork, the most difficult game this reviewer has ever attempted. Have your hints file handy, and, frequently, your walk-thru guide. I began to play this game the way I begin all new adventure... Read full review »

Outdated, Yet Fun and Challenging

byhotshot1a Jan 27, 2000
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Challenging puzzles; original plot and scenery; cheap
Cons No 3D graphics, no action controlled by the player
Recommended it? Yes

Here is a game in which few rules apply and one of the most backwards societies dwells. If you have never played any games in the Zork series, this game will probably strike you as one of the most bizarre ones around. The charcters, places, and the overall theme of this game are out of the... Read full review »

not the zork I grew up with

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros watch the zork world come to life with pictures
Cons the original text version was far more imaginative
Recommended it? No

Like so many other dorks, I was raised with a healthy dose of text-based adventure games, particularly the Zork series. It was nearly impossible to figure out the puzzles, even with the hint guide, but it was amazing. You didn't need pictures, it was like playing an interactive book, you saw it all...

Pros RPG gam, good graphics, fun dialogue
Cons Some of the puzzles are frustrating
Recommended it? Yes

When I bought Return to Zork, I did not really know what to expect.

I must say that it was not a let down. I don't buy many games for my computer, but when I saw this one advertised I had to find a demo for this game. I played the demo and fell in love.

This is the perfect game... Read full review »

Return To Zork is a great game!

Pros No Zork game after this one ever came close in fun and enjoyment!
Cons This game is unbeatable without help. Without hint or walkthrough you are toast.
Recommended it? Yes

This game has always been my favorite since its release in 1993. I've also played Zork Nemesis and Zork Grand Inquisitor, but none of them were as good. For its time the graphics were great and the music was astounding. And it was so much fun!!

I wish they'd make a sequel to this game... Read full review »

Pros Puzzling, odd
Cons Old by now, sometimes TOO puzzling
Recommended it? Yes

Ahh, Return to Zork.

It wasn't really a return for me, I'd not been there before. 4 years ago we'd just got our brand new CD-ROM drive for our PC, and this game was included. It took me in much more than the other game, The 7th Guest.

I remember at the time I was impressed with... Read full review »
